What Is It:

Vicks First Defence is a nasal spray designed for use at the very first signs of a cold. It targets viruses at the back of the nose to trap, inactivate and help your body naturally remove them, aiming to reduce the risk of a full‑blown cold.

Key Benefits:

  • Acts at the back of the nose where cold viruses take hold
  • Traps and inactivates developing cold viruses before symptoms worsen
  • Helps the body naturally remove inactivated virus particles
  • Can be started at first symptoms (e.g. sore throat, blocked nose, sneezing) or when exposed to cold viruses

Key Ingredients:

A targeted nasal formulation designed to act at the back of the nose: it traps and inactivates cold viruses and supports the natural clearance of inactivated virus material from the nasal passages to reduce progression to a full cold.

How To Use:

Begin use at the first signs of a cold or when exposed to cold viruses. Without tilting your head, incline the nozzle, insert into the nostril aiming outwards, then fully depress the pump 2–3 times per nostril. Avoid inhaling deeply after spraying. Apply 2–3 sprays per nostril each use, up to four times a day.

Always read the label. This is an AI assisted summary.
